1876. ABBOTT, C. C. The occurrence of White Egrets at Trenton, N. 

 J. Amer. Nat., X., pp. 473-476. 



The Snowy Heron arrived in numbers August 14th, and some Ameri- 

 can Egrets August 17th. The Little Blue Herons "a?'e always here and 

 caused no comment." Yet, according to Dr. Abbott, no White Herons 

 had been seen for several years in any numbers. As the Little Blue 

 Herons are always far more plentiful in the white plumage at this time, 

 and as the species has not known to breed in the Delaware Valley, so far 

 as the experience of others goes, it would seem probable that Dr. Abbott's 

 (Snowy Herons) were really the immature Little Blue Herons. Similar 

 flights have occurred since.
